Access funds
As a student, if you find yourself in deep financial doo-doo there may be help available.
Every university has an ‘Access to Learning Fund’ as a safety net for those who are experiencing problems. Ask if you need help – you shouldn’t have to suffer in silence if your situation has got to the stage where you are depriving yourself. Try asking the SLC, www.slc.co.uk, even if you don’t think you’ll get anywhere. The worst they’ll do is give you free advice.
